CPU cooler for a Silverstone LC17

[IDversusEGO]

I have the LC17 and Its about the same size as most full ATX HTPC desktop oriented cases. I am having trouble finding something that isn't too loud. So what are you guys using?

I found an article that gave a few low noise solutions, figured I would share in case anybody wanted to upgrade...

Arctic Cooling Alpine 11 GT for $9 + shipping

Coolermaster Geminii S for $40

Scythe Big Shiruken for $40

That Coolermaster one worked well for me in that case. Pretty quiet and low profile.

thanks for the info. I can get the two more expensive ones locally but would have to order the AC. I have some more workt o do before i get readyt o boot this thing so I can wait.

I have the Scythe Big Shiruken (on an i3/h55 matx), it was a little tricky to install with motherboard in case due to the large overhangs, and may interfere with tall ram if its close by and in the first slot ( i have about 0.5 mm clearance), but would highly recomend it. Very very quiet, efficient and low profile enough to clear the optical drive. Keeps temps low in a very full silverstone gd04b here in (hot) AZ.

I am leaning more and more that way, thanks
